Lilyhammer
Created by Eilif Skodvin, Anne Bjørnstad
A darkly comic fish-out-of-water crime drama where a New York mobster's fish-out-of-water reinvention in a small Norwegian town generates both genuine warmth and persistent danger.
After Frank The Fixer Tagliano testifies against his Mafia boss in New York, he enters the Witness Protection Program and makes an unusual demand: he wants to be set up with a new life in the Norwegian small town of Lillehammer or as he calls it, Lilyhammer.
